A ghost story like no other, a lawyer obsessed with a terrible curse he believes haunts him and his family, hires a young actor to help unburden the memory of The Woman in Black.

A young solicitor is sent to settle a deceased estate and begins to experience strange occurrences. While the locals remain mysteriously silent, he continues to investigate until ultimately The Woman In Black reveals herself to him and her chilling purpose.

Combining some of the oldest theatrical techniques with modern cinematic stylings, this incredible production relies on hints, atmosphere, glimpses and suggestions, heard and sometimes only half seen. One of the most effective spine-chillers you will ever experience.

Showing in The Lowe Auditorium – 17 November to 10 December, 2022

A somewhat unorthodox teacher and his colleagues at a British grammar school try to prepare a group of young charges for the upcoming Oxford and Cambridge entrance exams.

The students absorb the facts and figures thrown at them by academia, and in the process, they also learn a little about life.

A Flea in Her Ear is world-renowned as the funniest and most famous of all French farces. It’s perfectly formed in its comic timing, shamelessly saucy and completely bonkers.  We’re in Paris, 1908. After years of married bliss, Madame Raymonde Chandebise suspects her husband is having an affair. In an effort to catch him in the act she causes a lot more trouble than she bargained for.

Spiralling into a high-octane storm of sexual intrigue, mistaken identities and bed-revolving mayhem, a cavalcade of characters get in on the act. Some want sex and revenge, several want to preserve their honour. All want to avoid being shot. Nobody gets any sleep. You will laugh out loud.

Showing in The Lowe Auditorium – 18th August – 3rd September, 2022

A side-splitting comic romp about marriage

Career-driven Suzannah Hayden needs a lot more help on the home front than she’s getting from her husband, Gibby.
Enter Beth Bailey, Suzannah’s newly-hired assistant, a gregarious, highly-motivated daughter of the South. In no time, she exceeds her duties as a household assistant and interjects herself into Suzannah’s career.

As Suzannah’s dependence on Beth grows, she gives Beth carte blanche to change anything in the household; and the change Beth makes is convincing Suzannah that Gibby must go!

When he realizes it’s Suzannah’s career Beth is really after, a newly-determined Gibby sets out to save his marriage aided by Suzannah’s best friend, Margo, a wisecracking and self-deprecating divorcee and her ex-husband, Hank, who is in the midst of his own mid-life crisis.

Their effort to stop Beth at any cost sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry just as Suzannah’s boss arrives for that all-important dinner.

Leo Bailey is one of Australia’s greatest living artists, whose genius battles to survive the effects of alcohol, cynicism and self-loathing.

Only one of his many children, his daughter Margo, is prepared to help, but she does so at arm’s length. Margo finds a live-in-minder, Therese who is fresh out of prison and desperate for a home.

Then along comes Karl, a handyman who has the job of removing a valuable mural but who keeps returning with offers of practical friendship.

A funny and deeply moving play about friendship, ego, art and the secret longing for a better life.

Travelling across Europe, from the dark and sinister Transylvanian mountains to the charming seaside town of Whitby, Professor Van Helsing and his three amateur actors stage a life-changing, theatrical production of Dracula – hoping to establish, once and for all, the bloody truth.

The result is a delightfully silly, fast-paced and faithful (-ish) adaptation by John Nicholson (Hound of the Baskervilles, Peepolykus) of Bram Stoker’s novel. Performed by four actors playing thirty characters.
